A 21-inch rope is to be cut into two pleces so that one piece is 8 inches longer than twice the other. How long is each piece, if a=2, b= 8, and I=21
smaller plece
in
larger plece

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4 1/3 inches   Smaller piece

16 2/3 inches   Larger piece

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (2x + 8) = 21

3x + 8 = 21

3x = 13

x = 13/3

x = 4 1/3 inches   Smaller piece

2x + 8 = 8 2/3 + 8

2x + 8 = 16 2/3 inches   Larger piece

Pat bought 6 shirts that were all the same price. He used a traveler's
check for $25, and then paid the difference of $86. What was the
price of each shirt?

Answers

Answer:

Each shirt costs $18.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Questions such as these usually involve quite simple calculations, but they are important in being able to convert a scenario described in words into math calculations.

First, read the information carefully and then summarize what you are given in short sentences. Pat bought  6  shirts.  He paid using a check and cash.

The total amount paid was  $ 25  +  $ 86  =  $ 111

The shirts all cost the same price.

The cost of each shirt was:  111  ÷  6  =  $ 18.50

Answer:

Each shirt was 18.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of the 6 shirts was 25+86 = 111

Divide the total by 6 to find the cost of each shirt

111/6 =18.5

Each shirt was 18.50

2) Find the remainder when x3 + x2 - 20 is divided by
(x + 2) by using remainder theorem.
{ANS: R = -24}​

Answers

Answer:

Remainder = –24

Step-by-step explanation:

x³ + x² – 20 divide by x + 2

We can obtain the remainder when

x³ + x² – 20 is divided by x + 2 using the remainder theorem as follow:

We'll begin by calculating the value of x from x + 2. This is illustrated below:

x + 2 = 0

Collect like terms

x = 0 – 2

x = –2

Finally, we shall determine the remainder by substituting –2 for x in

x³ + x² – 20. This is illustrated below:

x³ + x² – 20

x = –2

Remainder = (–2)³ + (–2)² – 20

Remainder = –8 + 4 – 20

Remainder = –24

Therefore, the ramainder when

x³ + x² – 20 is divided by x + 2 is –24

The image of a parabolic lens is projected onto a graph. The image crosses the x-axis at –2 and 3. The point (–1, 2) is also on the parabola. Which equation can be used to model the image of the lens?

y = (x – 2)(x + 3)
y = (x – 2)(x + 3)
y = (x + 2)(x – 3)
y = (x + 2)(x – 3)

Answers

Given:

The image of a lens crosses the x-axis at –2 and 3.

The point (–1, 2) is also on the parabola.

To find:

The equation that can be used to model the image of the lens.

Solution:

If the graph of polynomial intersect the x-axis at c, then (x-c) is a factor of the polynomial.

It is given that the image of a lens crosses the x-axis at –2 and 3. It means (x+2) and (x-3) are factors of the function.

So, the equation of the parabola is:

[tex]y=k(x+2)(x-3)[/tex]          ...(i)

Where, k is a constant.

It is given that the point (–1, 2) is also on the parabola. It means the equation of the parabola must be satisfy by the point (-1,2).

Putting [tex]x=-1, y=2[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]2=k(-1+2)(-1-3)[/tex]

[tex]2=k(1)(-4)[/tex]

[tex]2=-4k[/tex]

Divide both sides by -4.

[tex]\dfrac{2}{-4}=k[/tex]

[tex]-\dfrac{1}{2}=k[/tex]

Putting [tex]k=-\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x+2)(x-3)[/tex]

Therefore, the required equation of the parabola is [tex]y=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x+2)(x-3)[/tex].

Kwame and Ama shared an amount of money in the ratio 5:4 respectively. If Kwame had GHC 9.00, how much did they share?

Answers

Answer:

They shared GHC16.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the amount shared

Let us call the amount x

Total ratio is 5 + 4 = 9

Kwame had GHC 9

Thus;

5/9 * x = 9

5 * x = 9 * 9

5x = 81

x = 81/5

x = GHC 16.2

Round the decimal to the nearest tenth.

Answers

(2.75 x 10⁵ ) / (2.25 x 10² )

= (2.75 / 2.25) x 10⁵⁻²

= 1.2 x 10³ times .

(That's 1,200 times as many.)

I hope this helps!

Answer:

1221.2 times more

Step-by-step explanation:

number of bacteria last week = [tex]2.25*10^2[/tex]

= [tex]2.25*100[/tex]

= [tex]225[/tex]

number of bacteria this week = [tex]2.75*10^5[/tex]

= [tex]275000[/tex]

[tex]275000 - 225 = 274775[/tex]

what is the measure of angle 3? Sorryyyy the question got cut off

Answers

Answer:

142

Step-by-step explanation:

angle <3 is supplementary to 5x + 3

5x + 3 + 21x - 5 = 180 (because two angles are supplementary as well)

26x  - 2 = 180 add 2 to both sides

26x = 182 divide both sides by 26

x = 7

<3 + 5x + 3 = 180 replace x with 7 and rewrite equation

<3 + 38 = 180 subtract 38 from both sides

<3 = 142

Please answer it all this is very important

Answers

Answer:

6.)

The answer is 63 inches because this value is closer to the mean and while the data is positively skewed (as in the mean is greater than the median) it's not by that much.

7.)

This would mean that the data is symmetric. By this, I mean that there would have to be an equal amount of data on either side of the mean. For example, for every entry 2 units below from the mean there must be one 2 units above the mean and so on. There would also have to be many entries on the mean/median (so that it would also be the mode)

8.)

We can observe that there are no real outliers that would heavily influence the data and so we can just take the mean

the mean of student A is: (68+72+73+67)/4= 70

The mean of student B is: (74+73+73+74)/4=73.5

We can see that student A, on average, is closer to 70 than student B and can therefore conclude that student A is more percise
